Game Analysis

  • The market expects a one-sided afternoon. Hearts is the shortest price on a book of 4.75 / 4.10 / 1.61 (1 / X / 2), an implied 57.7%. Across the three outcomes the book reads 19.6% / 22.7% / 57.7% on an overround of 7.6%.

  • In the league table Kilmarnock sit 12th on 4 points (1W 1D 4L) with Hearts 3rd on 12 points (4W 0D 2L).

  • Kilmarnock read W-D-D-L-L-W across their last 6 in all competitions, most recent first (2W 2D 2L) — patchy.

  • Hearts read L-W-W-W-W-D across their last 6 in all competitions, most recent first (4W 1D 1L) — a strong recent run.

  • Head to head the record reads 3-1-2 — Kilmarnock wins, draws, then Hearts wins. Their last meeting finished Kilmarnock - Hearts: 1-0.

  • Kilmarnock are without 3 — MJ Kamson-Kamara (Out - ineligible), Robbie Deas (Doubtful - injured), Djenairo Daniëls (Out - suspended). Of those, MJ Kamson-Kamara (7.10/10) is the one this team genuinely misses.

  • Hearts are without 5 — Tom Renaud (Out - injured), Blair Spittal (Doubtful - injured), Craig Halkett (Doubtful - injured), Ageu (Doubtful - injured), Malachi Fagan-Walcott (Doubtful - injured). Of those, Tom Renaud (8.18/10) is the one this team genuinely misses.

  • Early lineups are in: Kilmarnock set up 4-3-1-2 against 4-2-3-1. See the pitch graphic above for the full XI.

  • Kilmarnock lean hardest on Max Stryjek (9.5), Tom Lowery (9.5), Tyreece John-Jules (9.5) on our Player Index — how much of the side's football each man accounts for, out of 10. It measures involvement and cover, not performance.

  • Hearts lean hardest on Stuart Findlay (9.5), Calvin Miller (9.5), Beau Reus (9.5) on our Player Index — how much of the side's football each man accounts for, out of 10. It measures involvement and cover, not performance.

  • The projected score for this one is Kilmarnock 1 - 1 Hearts, a draw with 2 goals in it — short of the 2.5 line.

  • The read: Hearts at 1.61 is the side the market is with, and nothing in the data above argues against it.
